Highly efficient photocatalytically active TiO2-coated polymer fibers are prepared using a facile and universal method involving layer-by-layer assembly of TiO2 nanoparticles POSS molecules on various electrospun fibers. The display excellent photocatalytic properties in degradation allyl alcohol under UV illumination, without substrates.
Abstract Background Although Plasmodium vivax ( P. vivax) malaria is in the pre-elimination phase Republic of Korea (ROK), it continues to affect children and adolescents, who account for approximately 4–6% 300 500 annual cases. Despite this, research focusing on this particular population remains limited. This study investigates clinical characteristics pediatric ROK from 2000 2016. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients aged 0–18 years, diagnosed with five hospitals Goyang City...
Abstract Endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA) are environmental pollutants that interfere with the body's endocrine system because of their structural similarity to natural and synthetic hormones. Due strong oxidizing potential decompose organic pollutants, colloidal metal oxide photocatalysts have attracted increasing attention for water detoxification. However, achieving both long‐term physical stability high efficiency simultaneously photocatalytic systems poses many challenges....
